I'm going to keep trying to remember to paste stuff from discussions
going on over on Facebook so I can find the information later.  Starting
to feel like iris-talk has become my private blog :-(

Someone asked about identifying whether or not a dug piece of rhizome is
going to be likely to bloom the following year. Chuck shared the info he
has collected from others & observed for himself that the average leaf
count (including leaf scars from leaves that have already died) on a
mature rhizome is 12 to 15.

Rebloomers usually have less, but some have as many as once bloomers -
Rosalie Figge has 15.

The least he remembers hearing about or seeing he thinks is 12.

FB has more immediacy for discussion, but sure stinks for following
multiple conversations and/or finding information from earlier discussions.
